[XeTeX] Font problem with publisher --- help!!!

[François Chaplais]

I am not certain that pdftops will solve your problem. What I suggest  
is to produce " directly" ps (or eps) files with all fonts included,  
then produce a Pdf as late as possible. Distiller has the advantage of  
being produced by the company which invented both postscript and pdf.
Also, it should be noted that most software vendors first implemented  
postscript output before implementing pdf output later, so IMHO,  
postscript tends to be more reliable in case of trouble.
